Ontogenic variations in free and esterified fatty acids during somatic embryogenesis of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Abbreviations: EC – embryogenic calli; EFA – esterified fatty acids; FA – fatty acids; FAME – fatty acid methyl ester; FFA – free fatty acid; GC – gas chromatography; GC-MS – gas chromatography and mass spectrometry; HS – hypocotyl segments; HSC – hypocotyl segments with incipient calli formation; LCFA – long-chain fatty acid; MCFA – mediumchain fatty acids; NEC – non-embryogenic calli; PCA – p...

Extraction of Cotton Impurities: Supercritical Co2 vs. Soxhlet/TCE

Determination of residual natural waxes and processing lubricants on yarns and fabrics has traditionally been accomplished by Soxhlet extraction with an organic solvent. A variety of concerns about these solvents has driven a search for alternative methods. Hydrocarbon solvents; e.g., petroleum ether, are flammable and the manufacture of chlorofluorocarbon solvents was phased out in 1996 as a r...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L

The archaeological evidence of flax cultivation dates back to >6000 BC and it is considered as one of the oldest and most useful crops. Components of flax have diverse uses. Cultivar development of flax is currently focused on enhancing the oil content and nutritional value to meet the demand of nutraceutical market supply, as an alternate source of fish oil, a rich source of eicosapentaenoic a...

Separation of Free Fatty Acids using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography

The separation of free fatty acids was performed with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) on analytical lab scale apparatus. Experiments were performed using fatty acids, which occur in vegetable oils in different amounts. Free fatty acids were analyzed without derivatization. Several stationary phases of packed columns and types of detectors were used to achieve efficient free fatty acids...

Biotechnology of Flax (Linum usitatissimum)

Biotechnology can offer useful tools to complement conventional breeding programs. The techniques of in vitro selection, that exploit phenomenon, called somaclonal variation, by screening cell cultures for resistance to herbicides, different types of stress or diseases, already helped to obtain tolerant lines of flax (Linum usitatissimum), which were used in further commercial breeding programs...
